Welcome to my blog(s)! I have two. This one is for sketches, tutorials, and other "bloggish" stuff.

I haven't seen such painterly quality from a digital artist. It's great to see it can be done and in such a superior way. This piece is stunning in it's simplicity and the light is mesmerizing. Great blog!

Paul, Do you sell any of your paintings< In particular I was looking to buy one of the Prince of Egypt paintings as a 16th birthday gift for my youngest sister. Any way you can contact me and let me know?

Hey Paul, Love your works especially the ones on Pod Architecture. I'm currently a student in the field of Architecture and I recently acquired an Intuous 4 drawing tablet. I'd love to be able to draw like you, do you have any tips or suggestions on how I should proceed in learning the to use the drawing tablet? Hope to hear from you. Cheers!

Just wanted to say thanks so much for what you share on your blog - its really served as an inspiration for me.

I was an out of work illustrator masquerading as a graphic designer, then I happened to watch the extras on the lord of the rings trilogy that showcased your paintings, among others. This really clicked with me and I was inspired that there was life for my illustration career yet. From there I read the Lord of the Rings artwork books and then found your blog.

Though I am miles and miles away from your level of technique I just find that whenever I see your work a voice inside me says 'Go for it!'

At the moment I actually have regular illustration commissions - compared to where I was a few years ago this is a complete miracle. Hopefully Im improving as I go - like Marcelo Vignali says 'Its about the journey'.
